I'm really looking forward to the new year though and hope you are too!
I've decided to share a few lists with you, because they're time appropriate & I like lists.I hate New Years "resolutions", so lets call it my New Years I hope to, I need to, I want to, I should do list: get back to being super organized again, get into a regular exercise schedule again, complete my photography book, stress less, make a terrarium, finish the new/old motorcycle & ride, suck it up and legally change my last name already, get rid of stuff & have a yard sale, make a wedding album for my parents, "graduate" from square dance class, get a new website completed, stress less, try to save some money, go on an awesome anniversary trip, & stress less (yes, I've mentioned this one multiple times already). What's on your list?
My Top 10 Posts in 2009: (I posted 234 individual posts in 2009, and wanted to give a little list of my favorite ones for my new readers). Here they are, in no specific order-
1- Shauna set 2- full of sweetness & hearts. My 3rd set in my new series "Less Pin-up more Pin-down" and around the time I decided to make the series into a book.
2- Maternity 2: Hot Mama- a few maternity boudoir shots from a session. I loved these, other people loved these, the parents to-be loved these, & Offbeat Mama loved these.
3- Shadow Play- I wanted to do some unconventional child photography that felt part Hitchcock & film noir while still being fun and playful. And this little girl it totally my BFF.
4- Keeping it Clean- useful info. for you & your camera equipment.
5- The Art of Pancake Throwing- it really does take practice, it really does make a mess, it really is fun.
6- Outtakes 4- I enjoy seeing the process of other artists & I enjoy funny outtakes, so I assume other people like to see it to. An interesting behind the scenes post of what it took to get "the shot".
7- Display your special day- I worked really hard at all of the little details for my wedding, and had friends & family working hard too. Instead of throwing it all out or sticking it in a box, why not display it in a fun way?
8- Memento Mori- A tough topic and an honest look at my personal situation with photography & death.
9- Belize 3- interesting buildings, exotic location, rain drops on windows & palm trees on street sides. Oh yeah, and this was one of my favorite days on our honeymoon.
10- Lauren- fun photo shoot & another one from the "Less Pin-up More Pin-down" series. I especially love the ones where she's super animated.
*And lastly, I am offering a New Years special!! 15% off any photo shoot in January! I have very limited availability, so contact me asap if interested.
And whatever comes after lastly... I hope you have a wonderful, happy, & safe New Years holiday and best wishes to you in 2010!
